Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank, ISIN MYL1155OO000) stock is trading steadily on Bursa Malaysia on September 1, 2026, with the shares quoted at around MYR10.56 in early trade after having settled at MYR9.85 at 12:30 PM on the same day, giving the bank a market value of about MYR106.32 billion according to The Edge Malaysia and Malay Mail data.
Q2 2026 profit and fee income rebound
According to an analysis by Asian Banking & Finance published on September 1, 2026, Maybank’s net profit rose 8.5 percent in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the previous quarter, supported by a strong recovery in non-interest income (NOII) and fee-based business.
The same overview notes that NOII, which had contracted 15 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2026, rebounded sharply in Q2 2026, posting a 165 percent quarter-on-quarter recovery versus Q1 2026, and a 9 percent increase compared with Q2 2025, as trading, wealth management and investment banking income improved.
Latest half-year figures and margins
Asian Banking & Finance reports that in the first half of 2026, Maybank’s profit attributable to shareholders dipped 0.88 percent year-on-year to about USD1.28 billion as of the H1 2026 reporting period, reflecting weaker non-interest and insurance income, even as core lending operations remained resilient.
In the same H1 2026 context, Maybank’s net interest margin is cited at 2.12 percent, while for Q2 2026 the margin stood close to 2.1 percent, around 4 basis points lower than in the preceding quarter but still above Maybank’s full-year 2026 margin guidance, indicating that the bank has some room to absorb funding cost pressures.

Operations, loan growth and regional context
Asian Banking & Finance’s assessment of Maybank’s Q2 2026 performance highlights that overall group loans grew 1.7 percent quarter-on-quarter and 2.7 percent year-on-year, demonstrating continued credit demand in the bank’s core markets in Southeast Asia despite a cautious backdrop for Malaysian bonds.
The same commentary notes that, on a constant-currency basis, management continues to target group loan growth of 4 to 5 percent for full-year 2026, suggesting that Maybank is focused on balancing expansion with credit quality as Bank Negara Malaysia keeps its benchmark rate at 2.75 percent, a level that has been unchanged for more than a year according to a bond-market overview published on September 1, 2026.
Retail banking and digital services
As a leading universal bank in Malaysia, Maybank generates a significant share of its revenue from retail banking, payments and digital financial services, with mobile-banking and online platforms facilitating everyday transactions and fee income opportunities across the region.
